Mr. Goodness - if your Bible says you can't marry someone of the same sex, then don't. My Bible says you shouldn't eat pork, and that's what I choose. But I don't force you not to eat pork. The Bible has no business interfering with secular law in America.

Lovett is playing the victim to the hilt. What's not reported in the article is that Lovett brought up the issue of Mosquera's residency BEFORE the election, but decided not to pursue it in court. Her claim was that she could not afford an attorney, but it turns out that the attorneys who represented her AFTER the election did so pro bono.

While we're at it, let's pass legislation that grants full marriage rights to all New Jersey citizens and visitors. Not only will this ensure everyone's rights, but it will have a side benefit of bringing even more business to New Jersey. While religious institutions have every right to set the parameters for religious marriage, the state has no business telling two people who want to make that commitment that they can't. Parameters for state-issued marriage licenses should not be dictated by religious institutions.

Let's face it. The Christie administration blew it. Regardless of whether or not the giveaway of NJN was a good idea, the administration had absolutely no transition plan. And we saw the results in the amateurish newscasts and lack of coverage of a weather disaster. Just another sign of the management incompetence of the administration. All hat, no cattle.

It is totally irresponsible to balance the budget on the backs of the poor and middle class. Obama should have stuck to his guns and increased taxes on the wealthy and corporations. This bill has NO net revenue increase while taxes on the rich are the lowest they've been in 50 years. This bill will increase unemployment, increase suffering, and increase the wealth of the rich.

I don't have any issue with the Governor holding these meetings. But they should be paid for out of his campaign treasury, not by the taxpayers. These are political events that the state has no business supporting.

Vouchers are just a sneaky way to circumvent the Constitutional mandate of separation of church and state. Let's put the money in public schools, fix the things that are wrong to make them better, and provide opportunities to ALL students, not just those chosen by charter schools.

This project is needed for the region to thrive. This is just another financial burden that Christie has kicked down the road to our kids and grandkids.

Rove politicized the Federal judiciary, and Christie, who is an acolyte of Rove, learned well from his master. The firing of Judge Wallace was for political reasons. Judge Rabner is well within his rights to appoint a temporary judge until the Senate acts. Hopefully, Christie will withdraw the Patterson nomination and appoint someone who will be more concerned about the citizens of New Jersey.
